General. The MESL is the basis of status reporting IAW AFI 21-103. MESLs lay the ground work for reporting the status of aircraft availability. They list the minimum essential systems and subsystems that must be operational on an aircraft for it to perform specifically assigned unit training, contingency, wartime, training, test or other missions. Mission Ready Available (MRA) is used in readiness Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) reporting only and denotes Mission Capable (MC) aircraft capable of being configured for a contingency mission IAW Commander Air Combat Command (COMACC) OMNIBUS Plan.

Aircraft status for generation and deployment: The goal is to generate or deploy Fully Mission Capable (FMC) aircraft, recognizing status actually achieved may be less than FMC. A Not Mission Capable (NMC) aircraft may be deployed provided it is safe for flight and can be configured and generated to MRA status at an employment site. 1.3. All ACC units will generate, or deploy and regenerate, using ACC MESLs. Major Command (MAJCOM) differences in MESLs are acknowledged. Upon actual deployment to another MAJCOM theater, the gaining MAJCOM has the responsibility to resource and specify the unit's requirements and resource the differences in support/mission equipment. 1.4. Reading the MESL. A MESL is read by comparing the systems stated by Work Unit Code (WUC) against the Full Systems List (FSL) and all applicable Basic Systems List () across the page. Each unit's Design Operational Capability (DOC) statement determines applicability of columns. The aircraft MESLs incorporate all ACC assigned aircraft; therefore, it is important to compare only those columns listed in the MESL that are applicable to the unit's assigned aircraft. For example, units with CC (wartime) coded aircraft would determine and report status using only the FSL and columns related to their DOC statement. Units with TF (training) coded aircraft would determine and report status using only the FSL and TNG columns. Units with multiple coded aircraft will ensure status is reported using the MESL columns appropriate to the individual aircraft assignment code. Table 1.
